Mixed team: three different models share one bankroll.
Action timeline
Model's stated reason
No cards have been seen yet, so there is no counting edge to exploit. Betting the minimum minimizes expected loss against the house edge.
Model's stated reason
The shoe is fresh, so the count is neutral and the house has a small edge. The minimum bet minimizes expected loss until the count turns favorable.
Model's stated reason
Splitting 2s against a dealer 7 is the basic-strategy play with double after split available. The count is not high enough to alter this decision.
Model's stated reason
Hard 12 should hit against a dealer 7; doubling is not appropriate.
Model's stated reason
Hard 14 should hit against a dealer 7 under basic strategy. The count is only mildly positive and does not justify a deviation.
Model's stated reason
Hard 16 versus dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit, and the low true count does not justify a deviation.
Model's stated reason
Basic strategy calls for hitting hard 12 against a dealer 7. The exposed-card count does not justify a deviation here.
